Automotive systems
Vehicle dynamics, chassis systems, hybrid powertrains, and the interactions that make mobility work.
About · 02 / 03
Engineer by training.
Designer by instinct.
I am Arda Özcan, an Automotive Engineering student at Politecnico di Torino. I use systems thinking and visual precision to explore how vehicles work—and how technical ideas can be understood better.
Profile · 01
I work at the point where analytical depth meets visual clarity.
My academic base is automotive engineering: mechanics, electronics, vehicle systems, and the data that connects them. My current research interests centre on predictive maintenance, remaining useful life, and energy management.
Ricochet Design is the visual counterpart to that work—a place to turn complex engineering ideas into concise systems, identities, and stories without losing their technical logic.
